lyrics

Manteo Jail
Copyright 2019 Mike Norris Music

I spent last night at the Manteo jail
For a woman’s lies but it’s just as well
That we said goodbye
And now I’m rollin’ down that road alone.

When you’ve been locked up in the Manteo jail
and you find out that her heart’s for sale
There ain’t nothing you can do
but try to make it on your own.

Now I’m chasing’ those white lines
And I ain’t looking back this time
‘cause I’m on my way.

It’s a sordid tale that I know all too well.
How she had me locked up in the Manteo Jail
While she and her new boy
Hit the town like it was going out of style.

When you’ve been locked up in the Manteo Jail
And your heart is heavy and you feel like hell.
You’re just counting the hours,
Waiting on the sun to shine

Now I’m chasing’ those white lines
And I ain’t looking back this time
‘cause I’m on my way.

I spent two nights in the Manteo jail
For a woman’s lies but it’s just as well
That we said goodbye
And now I’m rollin’ down that road alone.

When you’ve been locked up in the Manteo Jail
And your heart is heavy and you feel like hell.
You’re just counting the hours,
Praying for the sun to shine

Now I’m chasing’ those white lines
And I ain’t looking back this time
‘cause I’m on my way.
